On my iMac (Yosemite), I went through the explanations on the github wiki, and when starting ipython I got an error "No module named notebook.notebookapp
". Goggled and landed on SO at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31397421/ipython-server-cant-launch-no-module-named-notebook-notebookapp and then ran "pip install jupyter" as advised. I then got " No module named functools32". I could finally start ipython after also running "pip install functools32".

In the Search-As-You-Type, Completion, and Suggestion (Elasticsearch).ipynb notebook, the two following typos (file name + path) needs to be corrected:

movies=pickle.load(open("../../movies_list.p","rb"))

should read

movies=pickle.load(open("../movies.p","rb"))

I have made a few changes myself as required, but would be nice to have 3.x supported too.

Thanks,

In Search-As-You-Type, Completion, and Suggestion (Elasticsearch).ipynb, in the "Post-Search Suggest" section, suggest_body contains a small typo:

suggest_body = { 
    "title_completion": {       <--- should be named title_suggestion
        "text": "star trec",
        "phrase": {
            "field": "suggestion"}}}

Tried using the code for analyzer as given in chapter 3 codes and got the following error. I am unable to understand whats wrong. ES version is 6.5. Any ideas on how to solve this will be appreciated. Thanks!

In the code for chapter 3, I would add an import requests statement in the first boilerplate setup snippet. Otherwise the snippet for indexing data won't run and complain about the missing requests module.

Running the code in Appendix A gives errors about trusting SSL on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine.

If I run the following "hello world" script:

import requests
import os

# you'll need to have an API key for TMDB
# to run these examples,
# run export TMDB_API_KEY=<YourAPIKey>
tmdb_api_key = os.environ["TMDB_API_KEY"]
tmdb_api = requests.Session()
tmdb_api.params={'api_key': tmdb_api_key}

httpResp = tmdb_api.get('https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/top_rated')

I recieve the error

In listing 6.2.1, the index names int he comments are wrong:

# PUT albinoelphant/docs/1
# { "title":"albino", "body": "elephant"}
# PUT albinoelphant/docs/1
# { "title":"elephant", "body": "elephant"}

should be

# PUT albinoelephant/docs/1
              ^
# { "title":"albino", "body": "elephant"}
# PUT albinoelephant/docs/1
              ^
# { "title":"elephant", "body": "elephant"}

Please consider upgrade the readme,

Running the sample following the readme I got the error:

ImportError: No module named notebook.notebookapp

I needed to

pip install jupyter

to being able to run the sample.

When looping through the top rated books I get a HTTP 429 error, i.e. I performed too many requests in a given time. I was able to work around that by specifying a timeout every tenth requests for a couple of seconds.

So basically I added

import time

and then

for page in range(1, numPages + 1):
    if page % 10 == 0:
        time.sleep(3)  # Sleep for 3 seconds every tenth request
    httpResp = tmdb_api.get('https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/top_rated', params={'page': page})  #(1)

But I am not sure if thats the best way to do it.

In Chapter 9 notebook, the tie_breaker: 0.3 parameter is missing in the Combined section (content sub query).

When bringing up the notebook for chapter 7, the following error popped up on screen

Notebook Validation failed: u'*' is not of type u'integer', u'null':
"*"

Hello, I followed the setup instructions on Readme, installing Elasticsearch on vagrant and using VirtualBox (all on a MacBook). When going through the setup instructions, I did the following (from command line):

vagrant up --provision

[I can see the VirtualBox virtual machine start up]

curl -XGET http://localhost:9200

I get:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9200: Connection refused

This used to work for me (as well as going to localhost:9200 in Chrome).

Any tips for troubleshooting this error? Thanks

Hi. I've just received the book and am working through examples. I'm comfortable with elasticsearch, but have never used python. I've followed the readme for setting up ipython notebook (now jupyter), but can't find out how to run the cells. I've also tried to use the python directly as scripts, but that is also elusive at the moment. Since time is of the essence, might you have a set of steps to run and verify the setup of the tmdb data? I tried to use _bulk directly in elastic, but the format isn't compatible. Any help greatly appreciated.
